Done, Done. Thanks for bashing me. I needed some advice. Didn't get much, to those of you who gave it- thanks.

I can't force them to do anything. I am going to attempt- without any advice from you guys- to present them with some rules about baby proofing and tell my mom to quit smoking or we aren't going over there. Period. If it doesn't work, so be it. Childcare is 6-8 months away, I have time to plan that out.

I actually have high standards for my childs environment. Hence, this advice seeking post on how to get my parents to change their environment. I get that I can't force them. If they don't change, BECAUSE i have high standards for my childs environment I won't let her go over there... Period. Problem solved, kind of.

So, you all are seriously some harsh and direct women. Which can be good & bad. It can be the swift kick in the ass that one needs. Or it can be so harsh and insane that one may not come back for that swift kick in the ass...

mamahera- that was one thing I was trying to say. I am ftm, don't know much about child mobility yet... but I was trying to tell thm that any day she is gonna be moving. quicker than we can childproof- they should know this though.

Smoking is a hill to die on for me. I am fortunate that none of my FOO/ILs smoke. But if ANYONE in my family did, or if they used drugs or did pot (medicinally or otherwise), they would not see my children. Not even at my house. Not until they were completely clean would I even consider it.

It may sound harsh to you, but my children's health and my right to not expose them to those things are more important than hurting anyone's feelings.

^ must not have read the pp. She isn't in her care for 6-8 months, plenty of time to find someone else or lay down the rules. if I see that as a reasonable option. 6-8 months before anyone besides me is watching her.

OP why are YOU the only one who can't see how absolutely ridiculous your post is? Why in the worls would a bunch of strangers unanimously bulk at what you're posting but you assume it is just because we are all big fat meenies?
